Limit access to visitors who are logged in or at specific IP addresses. Many options for handling blocked visitors. 
Great for Intranets, dev sites.


== Description ==

Limit access your site to visitors who are logged in or accessing the site from a set of specific IP addresses. 
Send restricted visitors to the log in page, redirect them, or display a message. A great solution for 
Extranets, publicly hosted Intranets, or parallel development sites.

Adds a number of new configuration options to the Privacy settings panel. From this panel you can:

1. Enable or disable site access restriction
1. Change the restriction behavior: send to login, redirect, or display a message
1. Add IP addresses not subject to restriction, including ranges
1. Quickly add your current IP to the restriction list
1. Control the redirect location
1. Choose to redirect visitors to the same requested path
1. Choose the HTTP redirect message for SEO friendliness
1. Customize the blocked visitor message
      
Requires PHP 5.1+ to support IPv6 ranges. Download version 1.0.2 if IP ranges are not needed and the host is not
running PHP 5.1 or newer.


== Installation ==

1. Install easily with the WordPress plugin control panel or manually download the plugin and upload the extracted
folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Configure the plugin by going to the "Privacy" menu under "Settings"
